Before we get to the sketch we have some sad news to share (well I think it's sad!), this week will be Becca and Gunn's last week with the Midnight Madness Design team. Gunn has been an unbelievable inspiration and such a fun team member and it will not feel the same without her...sob, sob....and Becca is such a sweet girl who is super creative with her designs and I feel I haven't gotten to know her yet! Good luck and best wishes in your future endeavors ladies...you will be missed.

For my creation this week I made an altered clip board. I'd found some at staples and thought I'd have a go at getting creative with it and I have to say I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I used a Tilda Christmas stamp, colored her in copics, glazed over her candy cane and put stickles on her wings. Lots of lace around the edges of the clip board...and yes, I actually finished both sides of it! I didn't want to make the embellishments too thick otherwise the clip board wouldn't hold my papers, so I went on the flat side of things, except for the pen of course.

DP is from Tim Holtz, lace from JoAnn's, flowers from my stash and snowflake and gems from Michael's.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope that you have a great week and will come along and play with us at Midnight Madness. Don't forget to stop by my DT sisters to show them some love too.

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - YUMMY IN YOUR TUMMY!

Good Morning! 

It's Sunday already and time for another challenge over at Pike's Playground, this time we are asking you to create something with the theme "Yummy in your tummy". Please remember to use one of Dustin's images for the challenge otherwise you will be disqualified from the challenge. 

With all the heat and humidity here lately I figured a good lollipop image would be just perfect, even if it is melting!!I colored Dustin's image with copics then added some glaze to the lollipop and of course the melting parts too to make it look as if it's actually melting!! I love how it turned out! The dp is from my stash, just remnants I had. The flower was made using a dark red floral accent from Michael's then placing some ric rac on top and finishing it off with a little Prima flower. 

I hope you'll take the time to come play along with us this week. Don't forget to stop by my DT sisters blogs to check out their awesome creations too! 

Before I leave, I want to send all my thoughts and prayers to everyone on the East coast of the US who have been affected by or who are still dealing with Hurricane Irene. 

Have a great day!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC118)

Good Morning!
I hope you are all enjoying a good beginning to a new week and enjoying some free time if you are like me, and have your children back in school! I have to say that even though my little one started school yesterday I really missed having him with me while I ran my errands. He went to his first day happy and came home happy (even though he had homework), so I was really relieved that his day had gone well and his teacher seems really sweet and caring.
Over at Midnight Madness we are up for another sketch challenge

For my card this week I used Priscilla's beautiful butterfly digi and colored it in copics. The dp is called Que sera sera from K&Co. and it has some gorgeous shine to it. I mounted the image on a black background to really make it pop then added a doily, and a metal oval frame to place my journey word in.

Thank you for stopping by today and for your comments, I so love to read them. Please don't forget to stop by and leave some love for my DT sisters too!
Have a great day!

MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC117)

Happy Tuesday Folks!
It's time for another Midnight Madness sketch challenge, are you all ready?
This week I'm taking my time enjoying each day with my little one before he begins the new school year next week. I can't believe that the 12 weeks have almost passed by already since the end of school. I'm going to be sad next week for sure when he is not with me all day! We have all his school supplies, his uniform, new backpack and lunch box, so everything's set, except for me!

Enter one style or both this week.

Just have fun and come play with us :)

Here is this week's Sketch

For my project this week I chose to make a card and tag for Christmas, the first for me this year! I've had this sweet little "Sticky" elf image for such a long time now and never actually used it. He is from the very talented Mo Maning, you can find him HERE I'm sure you've seen him around before!  

Here's a picture of my set together. I love the way they turned out and look forward to using them this Christmas and sending them to someone special!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you'll come along and play with the team this week. 

Hugs, 

Charlotte

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - BUTTONS OR CHARM

 Happy Sunday folks!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and having some fun crafting or taking a break and getting some relaxing in before school begins again! Over at Pike's Playground we have another challenge for you. This week we would like to see you create something with either buttons or charms or both if you wish. Don't forget to use one of Dustin's images though! 

For my card this week I used Dustin's flamingo which you can find in the zoo set HERE and decided to go with lots of glitter, a few swirls and a metal heart shaped charm for some added bling! I colored the flamingo in copics, added some stickles and inked the edges of the image. I stitched around my card and added some punch details on the lower part, added a paper doily, ribbon and some gems and that's all there is to it!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Enjoy your week and see you again soon!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

for my card this week I chose this gorgeous image from Priscilla. Isn't she just the sweetest young girl laying in the grass enjoying the fireflies! I knew exactly what I wanted to create when I saw this image and I'm super happy with how it turned out. 

 Below is a close up of the flowers. The large flower is made up from petals I got from Oriental Trading about  two years ago and sadly these are the last in my stash and I haven't been able to get the same ones again. The small flowers are from Prima.

I hope you'll join us and play along this week, we'd love to see what you create. Don't forget to drop by and leave some love for my DT sisters.

At AnnaBelles we have an exclusive range of clear photopolymer stamps, a great range of embellishments including our popular Sprinkles, as well as twines, buttons and ribbons!  With our twice monthly hops and weekly challenges there is always something for everyone!  We hope you'll visit us soon :)

For my card this week I used this sweet image from annabelles and colored it in copics. Nothing really went as I had originally planned for this card as I wanted to do lots of embossing and die cuts but after I cut the label and image out my Big Shot machine decided not to work anymore, so I was left to rethink my design! (I also cut too close on the I love you part, but by this time I was not in the mood to recolor another image!) I then decided to use some patterned paper instead to give it some details and I actually do like how it turned out in the end. Unusual colors for me but sometimes I guess even I have to think outside the box!!! LOL For the back of my card I made a pocket with label to write a sentiment on. 

So that's it for today! Hopefully my next creation will go with less mishaps!! 
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the rest of my DT sisters.
